This paper discusses the importance of assigning economic value to the landscape, in particular when it is expressed in monetary scale and when held in market context or market absence. Based on literature, a comparative analysis of economic valuation methods for landscapes and ecosystems is carried out. At the end, we discuss the challenges that may arise to public administration, regarding the capture and internalization of values in to the planning process, that results from benefits and externalities provided by landscapes and ecosystems.
